When we adopted him we were told he was 5, but right before he passed away we learned he was closer to 10 or 12. We lost him to renal failure in April. It was super depressing being in an empty home without our boy. After moving, we "happened" to be at the shelter looking at another dog, Heatherhttp://somethingsewbeautiful.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659572515687798778.post-74310702978984227502015-07-15T07:40:51.613-05:002015-07-15T07:40:51.613-05:00I loved this story Laura and Penny is very cute.

They are very cute though. Thank you for faithfully sharing at Good Morning Mondays, it is always a pleasure stopping by.

With horses, a lot of people keep horses for a time then move on to another. I could never understand that either. The horses I have weren't the ones I'd get now but they are ours forever and I love them.

When I would call him in, he would stand at the back door just out of reach and stare at me. He would absolutely refuse to come in. My husband would call him one time and in he'd run. I felt like beating him some days!! :). 5 years later, I lay on the floor withTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948148571415167380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659572515687798778.post-66561059477566990622015-07-07T10:47:28.183-05:002015-07-07T10:47:28.183-05:00Awww... isn't Penny adorable!

From then on we always had a dog.<br /><br />I was pretty attached to my 1st puppy but she only lived a year.
